Hi there,

I believe that people who are concerned about war and peace, democracy, the climate catastrophe, and economic and racial justice, are not a fringe minority, not even a silent majority, but the silenced majority—silenced by the corporate media. But we can't do it without your support. Thanks to a group of generous donors, all donations made today will be TRIPLED until midnight ET, which means your $15 gift is worth $45. With your contribution, we can continue to go to where the silence is, to bring you the voices of the silenced majority. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much!

“The whole world is watching” this election year in the United States. The outcome of U.S. elections has always had a ripple effect on political situations and economies in countries around the world. Latin Americans in particular are watching cautiously. U.S. candidates for Congress and the Presidency are blending anti-immigrant rhetoric with praise for free trade, sending a mixed message to Latin America.
